Nigeria’s Cultural Areas / Regions by karfe(m): 8:33am On Aug 04 |
There are 36 federal states grouped into 6 geo-political zones in contemporary Nigeria. A different approach will show that there are 5 culturally compatible regions existing within the country which are not restricted to state or zonal borders but are based on ethnicity, religion, level of socio-economic development, etc. North: Includes the Hausa-Fulani and Kanuri areas, and is also known as Far North or Arewa. - Kebbi - Sokoto - Zamfara - Katsina - Northern Kaduna - Kano - Jigawa - Bauchi - Gombe - Yobe - Borno Central: Historically known as the Middle Belt. It is a diverse region of hundreds of small ethnic groups of the old Northern Nigeria region , many of which use the Hausa language as a lingua franca. It has several Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri enclaves. - Adamawa - Taraba - Plateau - Southern Kaduna - Nasarawa - Niger - Benue - FCT - Non-Yoruba Kogi - Non-Yoruba Kwara West: All Yoruba within Nigeria. - Yoruba Kogi - Yoruba Kwara - Oyo - Oshun - Ekiti - Ondo - Ogun - Lagos East: All Igbo within Nigeria, including related ethnic groups in the Niger Delta area. - Northern Delta (Anioma) - Northern Rivers - Ebonyi - Enugu - Anambra - Imo - Abia South: All smaller groups in the southern part of Nigeria who are neither Yoruba nor Igbo and also excluding those closely related to the Igbo in the Niger Delta area. - Edo - Southern Delta - Bayelsa - Southern Rivers - Akwa-Ibom - Cross River 1 Like |
